What is the sum of odd numbers from 30 to 68? Here we will show you step-by-step how to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 30 to 68.
Step 1) We start by finding the first (F) and last (L) odd numbers from 30 to 68. It is easy to do that by simply looking at the numbers. The first odd number is 31, and the last odd number is 67.
F = 31
L = 67
Step 2) Next, we calculate the total odd numbers (T) there are from 30 to 68, using a formula. Here is the formula and the math:
T = (L - F + 2) ÷ 2
T = (67 - 31 + 2) ÷ 2
T = 38 ÷ 2
T = 19
Step 3) Finally, we use the information from Step 1 and Step 2, and another formula, to calculate the sum of odd numbers from 30 to 68, like this:
Sum = (T ÷ 2) × (2 × F + (2 × (T - 1))
Sum = (19 ÷ 2) × (2 × 31 + (2 × (19 - 1))
Sum = 9.5 × (62 + 36)
Sum = 9.5 × 98
Sum = 931
Sum of odd numbers from 30 to 68 = 931
